1) hang clothes outside let air for a few days
2) In a bucket mix 1/4 white vingar with 3/4 COLD water
3) tip in a can of coka cola (water will look bad but don't worry)
4) Disolve 1/3 cup of baking soda in some hot water & tip into the bucket of coka cola mixture
5) When water is cold soak clothes over night
6) tip out water, squeeze out clothes
7) wash in washing macins with your regular powder /liquard (what ever you use normally will be fine) but cold water is best.
and again add a can of coka cola emptied into the washing machine run machine through on regular cycle
8) hang outside to dry DON'T dry in clothes dryer

**If smell perstits repeat and if still there throw out the items as there is no way you'll get rid of the smell **

If the smell is in your machine ......Place a dish with baking soda in it close door / lid leave over night The backing soda should absorbe most of the smell throw out the soda in the mornig and run the machine through with the bucket mixture with out any clothes :rotfl:good luck:rotfl:
